This would definitely be one of my death row dishes! Paulie and I are going on holiday next week so he asked me what I would like for my last Saturday night dinner and this was my request. It is based on a Delia Smith christmas recipe with a few tweaks like extra capers. There…

Homemade Fresh Tomato and Basil Pizza Sauce Recipe
This pizza sauce is a recipe that is a result of Paulie and I’s pizza challenge. We first made a pizza sauce using passata and once we tried it, we thought it was very sweet, salty and rather claggy. So we decided to have a go at making our own with fresh tomatoes. This recipe…
Baked Spicy Cauliflower and Pea Samosa’s with a Yoghurt Mint Dip Recipe
I was a little scared about trying to make my own samosa’s as they look so complicated and I still believe there is an art in the folding and how much filling to use. I was really proud of how mine turned out, not perfect but still a triangle shape, nice and crispy on the…
Bank Holiday 6 Hour Spiced Pulled Lamb Shoulder Recipe
It’s Bank Holiday Monday in the UK today and guess what, yes, it’s raining! What better way to cheer yourself up than making the most amazing and comforting food. This recipe is from the River Cottage cookbook. The book has lot’s of yummy recipes but this is our favourite. The merguez spices soak into the…
South American Inspired Mocha Rubbed Slow Cooker Beef Brisket Recipe
Do you love flavour and fed up of the same old brisket recipe and what to try something new? Try this! We haven’t used a dry rub as a sealant on a brisket before, we usually seal the meat first in a pan before pot roasting so this was new for us. I also haven’t…
Homemade Beef Ragu and Spaghetti Recipe
I love dried porcini mushrooms and one of my favourite Paulie dinner’s which uses them is his beef or veal ragu. This was a joint effort as I made the pasta and he made the ragu and both elements were as yummy as one another. I love the rich tomato sauce which soaks up the…
Healthy Bacon, Tomato, Thyme and A Smidge of Cheese Open Omlette
Omelettes are a quick healthy and versatile back up meal for breakfast lunch or dinner. You can practically add anything to them, as I wanted mine to be healthier I used a strong flavoured hard cheese and used the parmesan grater so it sprinkled over the whole omelette using at least half the amount of…
Healthy No Carb or Cream Pork Chops with a Sage Sauce Recipe
I love do love chops as quick dinner, but I am not keen on heavy creamy sauces. This recipe is a treat as you get the lovely caramelised bits on the pork, a little hit of sage (we have a big plant on the windowsill at the moment) and a sweet flavour from the shallots….
Tea and Orange Soaked Fruit Loaf Recipe
Sometimes between 10-11am I have missed breakfast and I am not quite ready for lunch, I wanted to make something that isn’t too indulgent or fattening but still juicy and moist as I hate dry cakes. So this recipe is a cross between a loaf and cake and is really yummy. I love the sugar…
Saturday night Seabass with Tarragon Sauce and Roasted Fennel, Capers and Tomato Recipe
I alway’s feel healthy and satisfied after eating a fish dinner. Paulie adapts recipe’s so they are low fat by elimating most of the butter and replacing with stock as you will see below. We are really good at trying lots of diferent fish depending on what our fishmonger has, however we do also buy…
Easter Rib of Veal with Marjoram, Gravy, Yorkshire Pudding and Honey Roasted Parsnips and Carrots Recipe
Rib of beef is one of my favourite roast’s and whilst out shopping at our local Waitrose Supermarket, they had this rib of Veal on offer so we thought we would have it as our Easter dinner. My gosh we were not disapointed and I thought it was much more moist than aged beef and…
3 Cheese Fondue with Crusty Bread Recipe
I love cheese! It is ok in proportion and as a treat, like in this case. Cheese fondue tastes so good and I thought if I was going to have cheese I might as well go for it and make sure it is good quality and worth the calories! I read a lot of articles…
Easy but Amazing Slow Roast Chinese Pork Shoulder
This recipe is amazing and would be fantastic for this Easter weekend, it is like pork ribs but you get loads more meat and less fat! It is so worth the 4 hours cooking time as it melts in your mouth and dipping the meat in the extra sauce is finger licking good. Me and…
Left Over Roast Chicken, Leek, Pancetta and Mushroom Pie Recipe
Got leftover’s from your Sunday Roast? Then make the easiest and tastiest Chicken pie. Paulie and I treat ourselves to a bird in a bird at Christmas and as there is only the 2 of us we always have leftover’s. It’s the same with a roast chicken, so on this occasion we used christmas leftover’s…
Easiest Ever Risotto – We used Chorizo, Mushroom and Leek
If me and Paulie are stuck for something for dinner or if one of us is feeling unwell, our go to dish is a risotto. You can more or less add anything you have lying around in the fridge. So if you have an onion but not a leek, or bacon and no chorizo just…
